Drive By Tongue Bitch Rant #1

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:21:00 +0000

Professor Val has a great friend who, from time to time, shares her wisdom-usually in a moment of twisted angst... Here is her latest Drive By Tongue Bitch Rant

"I can't think straight as my bra is very uncomfortable. And then I thought - why is the female gender subjected to having to endure such an uncomfortable device?

Admittedly, a bra does improve the way we look (influenced of course by culture). Now I ask, who on this planet enjoys viewing mushy, lumpy man pants? Men should have to wear a ballssier. Equipped with metal underwires to "lift and separate". They can start out as already awkward adolescents with training ballssiers. Then to bolster their self-esteem and affirm their identity as sexual objects, they can then be forced to wear skimpy ballssiers that are highly uncomfortable and have their goods slip out of the the supportive device.

As midlife approaches, the ballssier can then take on a look that screams to them, 'you have no sex appeal left' where they are then forced to wear large, shapeless nut-cradles. To complete the concept, they should also have to purchase (sold separately of course) deodorizing inserts. I cant wait to witness a man having to spread his legs in a department store in order to be properly sized, then informed that the store doesnt carry that small a size. Lets hear it for the circulation of internet jokes poking fun at aging men and their drooping sacs. For my next thought, I may get into designing a 'testogram' replicated after the mammogram. "

Housework Foreplay...

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:07:00 +0000

I have been telling folks this for years. (I'm going to present this from the view point of the man complaining he isnt getting enough sex but it can just as easily be the woman complaining about the man...)

Couples often bicker about keeping the house clean, taking care of the kids, cooking, doing errands, etc. Say what you want about "women's lib", I feel that those pioneers did not think things through to the end result. Yes women can go out and work and make as much, if not more money than men, but they are also STILL stuck in the kitchen, taking care of the kids, carpooling, cleaning, etc. Women fighting to become part of the work force is also one of the reasons that we need two-income families now just to make ends meet-it changed the economy of the USA (but I digress..)

Are there men out there pulling their weight? Yes. Are there men out there doing everything for the kids, house, wife and still working full time? Yes. Are their lazy women out there doing absolutely nothing? Yes. The majority of the time it's still the woman who has more crap piled on her than time in the day to get it all done.

Instead of whining and complaining that you are not getting enough sex at home, how about pitching in with the chores and the kids and all of that mundane junk? It should not always be the woman's responsibility to do all of that plus work while the man comes home at the end of the workday and does nothing. I'm not saying it's always like this but if it is that way in YOUR relationship, get a clue please...

Taking some of that responsibility as your own can really go a long way in helping a woman feel less like a servant and more like the sexy woman she was before the situation wore her the hell out. It's hard to feel sexy and horny when you are utterly exhausted and extremely resentful that you are stuck doing all of it yourself.

And dads, PLEASE do not ever say "oh, I can't go bowling because I'm babysitting tonight". No, you are not babysitting. They are your kids-you are being a dad. I have never heard a mom say she was babysitting her own kids-have you?

So let's recap... (1) doing your share of housework is better foreplay than the special trick you do with your tongue; (2) recognize that women's lib was not meant to doom a woman to working full time AND being responsible for the entire household but it did change the economy in a way that we now really do need two-incomes to make ends meet in many instances; (3) dads do not BABYSIT their own kids.

Kudos to the men out there who already get this...you are wise! Kick in the ass to men who do not get this-pitch in at home or don't complain that your woman is too tired to also service you.

Comments? I'm sure there will be ;)

Mammography: To Squeeze Or Not To Squeeze...(under age 50)

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 14:20:00 +0000

Breast heath is nothing to fool with. How a woman takes care of her breasts is a very individual decision. Some women follow the doc's orders and give themselves monthly self-breast exams-good for you for being proactive. Some women will follow their doc's recommendations to get a baseline mammogram at age 35 and then have yearly screenings from age 40 on. Others choose other avenues such as Thermography screenings(4).(6)

Whatever you choose, thorougly research it using valid and appropriate material. Be very careful when researching on line-there is a lot of BS out there. Aside from checking out what the AMA has to say, you might also want to check out what's going on in the medical associations in Europe and other areas. Here's a statement from the AMA in Australia.(5)

Herein lies the rub... mammograms and thermographies are completely different kinds of screenings and in a perfect world doing a combination screening yearly would be a two-punch knockout. Unfortunately that's not best idea because of the longlasting effects of mammographies. With thermographies you have to make sure that the equipment is the latest available and the technician is trained well. Unfortunately there are no general standards or licensing so you have to be careful. My thermography office always has the newest equipment and an awesome tech. Further, the results are interpreted by a top radiologist. (4)

Thermographies have limitiations in that they are not covered by insurance, doctors dont back them, and they can't really get into dense breast tissue to see what's doin'. On the other hand, thermographies watch changes in your circulatory system and can spot a suspicious branching of the system about 10 years before a tumor even thinks about growing. Now THAT is preventative, wouldn't you say? Also, There is zero radiation, zero invasiveness, and zero breast squeezing. Breast squeezing is not only uncomfortable but also damaging to the delicate tissue-let me know when they start squeezing testicles between plates before they zap them with radiation for screening purposes.

Mammograms have their limitations as well. You are exposed to 0.7 mSv radiation FOR EACH SHOT "which is about the same as the average person receives from background radiation in three months" (1). When I went for my baseline mammogram, not only did they take a bunch of shots but I had to go back because they didn't like the shots they got (or thought they saw something-they are not usually straight with you) and all together I bet I had near 8 to 10... lets add that up for a second... that's 7 mSv not POINT 7 and that is THIRTY MONTHS of background radiation-30 months is 2 1/2 years worth and that's just for ONE mammogram session. False positives for women between the ages of 40 and 49 is approx 15% (1). Imagine all the fun those false positives lead to. There are also a good number of false negatives...

Now lets throw this little diddy in... for women ages 40 to 49, there is no significant decrease in breast cancer deaths from having yearly screenings and worse, you've now been exposed to 10 years of radiation. "This usually requires at least two mammograms from different angles of each breast." (2). I'm not sure how many different angles are used but lets just say they take 4 shots of each breast-that's 8 shots and 5.6 mSv which is 2 years worth of "background radiation" every year for approximately 20 years worth of additional background radiation including the initial baseline mammogram.

Ready? For women ages 40 to 49 the amount of radiation you have been exposed to INCREASES your chances of getting breast cancer by percentages that vary from article to article AND DO NOT REDUCE DEATHS from breast cancer. At the insistence of my mother I spoke to a doctor about this and when I brought that point up she got very cranky with me and said that may be true but it changes the treatment options available to you. Lets be real here-all treatment options are unpleasant, to put it mildly and no more women will be walking the earth having had mammograms than those who had their tumors discovered via monthly self-screenings or yearly doctor's screening-but they now have 20 years worth of radiation pumped into their breasts...

It's a very different story for women ages 50 to 69. Yearly mammograms lower breast cancer deaths by approximately 25%.

So what's the answer? There is no way in hell I'm exposing my girls to that much unnecessary radiation. I go for yearly thermography screenings which address one side of the coin but are not perfect on their own and I do my monthly self-exams regularly. My conundrum starts here-what other screening tool can I use that will not add to my chances of breast cancer both from radiation AND also the damaging of the delicate breast tissue in the unmerciful squeezing done by the mammogram. Digital ultrasound is one option I've been looking into. Another is MRI. Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast and go for an MRI follow up have found that they often have cancer in the other breast which was MISSED by the mammogram 90% of the time... 90% failure rate in picking up the cancer in the other breast.(3) MRIs do not expose you to radiation. Problem here is-will my insurance cover it? You can't randomly go in and request an MRI to avoid mammography.

I'm not even going to address the politics here but feel free to further research that aspect of the mammogram world.

So, how will YOU care for your girls?

Chubby Cheerleaders? hm...

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 14:11:00 +0000

There are many discussions about how the media keeps telling us (and showing us) what they consider the perfect body female. Models are a size zero (although that is changing-slowly), skin must look like porcelain, breasts start at the neckline and jut out about a foot, diet pills are flying off the shelves, diet companies are making $ hand over fist delivering food to your house in boxes that do not even need refrigeration...

And then there is how the media portrays men. There have been a plethora of sitcoms on TV where the main female character is the usual cute, tiny, sexy thing and the husband is a big guy. The only popular sitcom where the woman was larger sized was Roseanne and her husband was pretty equal in size... Where is the heavy woman with the buff dude couple out there?

So now this...The Florida Marlins are looking for a few heavy men to be chubby cheerleaders called Manatees... Where is the outrage? Am I the only one pissed off? On the one side you think-"hey, this could be funny-these guys have balls doing that". On the other hand you think "What kind of esteem do these guys have to go out on the field like a bunch of fat clowns to be laughed at while their manteets jiggle?" (click here for the full story).

The Chicago Bulls already have a similar cheerleading squad called the Matadors...

What is your opinion? Is this as f'ed up as I think it is or am I just being sensitive because I've had weight issues since my mid 20s...up and down.. up and down.. presently on the down swing

DRUGS: Advertising Drugs... Is it ethical?

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:38:00 +0000

While I'm watching all of my dopey TV shows I'm nauseated by the medical commercials from medication to plastic surgery to Lasik eye surgery (which is now linked to suicide in some cases)...

Now Dr. Jarvik, the dude who invented the first artificial heart is catching crap for his commercials for Lipitor. Apparently he's not a licensed MD although he is a medical doctor. They used body doubles in his commercials (he doesn't row etc)... now they are wondering if he is even taking Lipitor...

I really wish the holistic/homeopathic folks out there would start advertising on TV. We are conditioning Sapes to just follow the allopathic route to health. It's not the only way and it's not necessarily the best way to handle many conditions.

Did you know that some experts believe that it is possible for biopsies to spread cancer cells? Have you ever heard that before? No? I'm not surprised... the allopaths are not advertising that little tidbit. The only information I have found on line about this issue comes from alternative health sites. If anyone finds any research studies on the topic, please let us know.

The bottom line is that we need to educate the Sapes that there are other effective ways to treat illnesses and disorders. Please people, be open minded and be logical... if something seems to good to be true it probably is. Be an educated healthcare consumer!!

Prevention Sapes... PREVENTION!!,

Dirt Cookies and Domains

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 14:32:00 +0000

As I was looking at the headlines this week I came across an article about the expense of food in Haiti and how the poor do not have enough money to buy even the cheapest of staple foods we take for granted here so they are forced to eat dirt cookies. CLICK HERE to read the whole article .

Read the article and listen to your body's response to it. What was your reaction? What words went through your mind? What feelings came over your body? What thoughts ran through you...

Does your primary domain affect the way you respond to an article such as this? My husband and I were both appalled when we read the article but we had different responses. I being ECO and he being EXO (and above that being human) were sickened on many levels but the outward expression was quite different.

Show this article to some other sapes and compare the reactions... do you see any correlation to the domains and the type of reaction?

Food for thought,

Losing Your Cool? When Is It Time To Get Help?

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 02:42:00 +0000

Have you ever lost it like this woman in the video? (click on "Losing Your Cool?... to see the video) She's not making much sense-she's completely illogical and although I can't see her eyes, you can bet your bippy she's ONTO.

I'm sure that even perfectly rational Sapes can lose it once in a while. When is "too much" or "too intense". Remember, you don't get angry-angry gets YOU!

There are ways to handle things when feelings get physical. You could come and talk to us at Soma Space or buy our "Help Yourself" audio product. You could go for anger management classes. You could learn meditation, tai chi, or you could learn how to redirect your anger into areas that are not destructive.

But how do you know when you are getting angry? Click here for the early warning signs (might stop you before you lose it if you know what to look for). When is it time to seek help? If you are even questioning it you might want to get some feedback from a professional. One thing that usually stands out is that the anger is affecting your relationships/job/etc.

How do you handle your anger? Are you doing the best you can to keep yourself together? If not, are you brave enough/smart enough to actually seek help? Don't let anger F your life up...

What's it going to be, Sape?

Fitness, PHYLOs and Freakin' Flab

		Saturday, 19 January 08 - 07:24 PM By Professor Val

I was surprised that ECO Queen Latifah agreed to go on Jenny Craig like ONTOs Valerie Bertinelli and Kirsty Ally did. The Queen has always been a very proud BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) so I did a little research online to find out what was going on. QL was saying that she wanted to lose a small percentage of her body weight to decrease her chance of becoming diabetic, as it runs in the family and she specifically stated that her grandmother was diabetic. She also took a lot of flack because she had "cosmetic surgery". I researched that and found out she had a medically necessary breast reduction because of back issues. She went from an F cup to a DD. She was upset that her funbags were one size smaller than she had wanted but they are what they are now. Queen Latifah was saying that portion control was an issue for her so certainly a package of JC grub might do the trick (at least temporarily... hey, has anyone seen Kirsty lately?)

So I went on youtube looking for a video on Queen Latifah and I didn't find what I was looking for but I did find a video in which the Queen was mentioned. This young woman who identifies herself as SoSoBlessed (PHYLO) talks about what drove her (a BBW) to decide to lose some weight. Check it out here - Proud BBW (but it's time to lose weight)

It made me think about my own weight/fitness situation and what was the final straw for me (this time) to get focused on getting my fat ass to the gym. I have been eating extremely well for several years but the weight is stubborn and I hate exercise. Thank the goddess that Yo Adrienne came into my life and has been my personal trainer and friend since the summer. Once the college went on break I started going to the gym 6 days per week, approx 2 hours per day. I've kept this up since the beginning of December and I'm reflecting now...being that I despise exercise, what has kept me motivated (beside Yo Adrienne)?

While out to dinner with my hubby we started talking about these things... Rick said that the domains probably affected sapes motivation for getting fit and we started going through each of the domains.

Rick felt that PHYLOs would want to get into shape so that it increased their chances of bonding with others. It was a way they could attract sapes.

Then came the ONTOs... Rick said that they were mostly concerned with how their bodies reflected on them as people and they were concerned with being on their A game. I added that it was a place they could gain some control and they like that.

We skipped over ECOs motivation for the moment...Rick said "I don't know why you people (meaning ECOs since I am an ECO) do anything" LOL wiseass... We'll get back to that.

EXOs, he felt, will work toward attaining a predetermined and specific performance goal. For example, Rick might want to take his recumbent bicycle on the bike path and do 60 miles in a day so he'd train toward the specific goal of conditioning his body to be able to go the 60 miles with ease.

I thought a little more about what motivates me, an ECO, toward my fitness goals. Sure I'd like to get rid of some fat but that's not what motivates me. One of the main things that has always motivated me is staying healthy and avoiding doctors-I really don't like those sapes very much (nothing personal, MD) and I'd like to see them as little as I can until someone plants me in the dirt. There had to be something else keeping me in the gym 2 hours a day and making me feel that "something is wrong" when I take my one day off per week... I spoke to Dr. Mark about this today and he hit the nail right on the head... what is motivating me on a daily basis is the emotional high I'm getting from the exercise-I've become an endorphin junkie! Not only do I get a nice high from the endorphin rush but also from the social environment of the gym where I have made some interesting new acquaintances. When I walk in the gym now I feel like a much lighter version, of Norm on Cheers, sans testicles of course...

Tell us, what's your domain and what is YOUR motivation for getting fit... Leave a comment and share your story!

In the meanwhile I'll keep tightening dat ass

New Year's Resolutions.... UGH!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 14:11:00 +0000

Every New Year many Sapes make New Year Resolutions. This is an ancient ritual which dates back to 153 BC (and I doubt more than a handful of people have followed through since) started by Janus, the mythical king of Rome. Janus...January.... it's not a coincidence, my friends.

According to the article "Top 10 New Year's Resolutions" by K. and A. Powell, they are:

1) Spending more time with family and friends
2) Getting Fit
3) Losing Weight
4) Quiting Smoking
5) Enjoying Life More
6) Quitting The Booze
7) Getting Out Of Debt
8) Learning Something New
9) Helping Others
10) Getting Organized

Most of those are either changing unhealthy habits of feeling guilty about something you did or didn't do.

Is this really how us Sapes live? Do we LOOK to virtually kill ourselves with unhealthy habits and stress (not to mention doing stupid things that cause guilt)? WTF are we doing?

There has to be a better way.

I'd like to know why we wait until January 1st to think about changing all the stupid things we do all year and then when we do try to change these habits, we fail... ask Dr. Mark about the "adult brain".

If you are under 25 years old, do yourself a favor and make long term lifestyle change NOW and don't fall backward. If you are over 25 it's going to take a lot more work to make these changes and your success rate drops dramatically.

One thing you can do to increase the chance of making these lifelong changes is to rebuild your somatic self. Think about downloading our Somatic Companion 30 Day Emotional Makeover right this freaking minute and get started making these changes TODAY. A more coherent Sape is more likely to reach their goals. How old are you again? Ah yes... and you are STILL struggling with the same bad habits and unmet goals. Think outside the box and try from a new angle to get into a better place- body, mind AND spirit...

Listen people, I've gone through the program and I know what happens at the end of the 30 days. You'll see life in a completely different way and that's a very GOOD thing!

More Coherent (and in better shape) Every Day,

Italian expert links first Christmas celebration to pagan shrine in Rome

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 02:55:00 +0000

Imagine how these archaeologists must have felt when they unearthed an ancient grotto where the "mythological" Remus and Romulus were nursed by a she-wolf. Perhaps they were not as mythological as suspected...

The ancient Pagans worshiped many gods and goddesses. When Christianity came along they felt that these "ignorant Pagans" were at risk of eternal damnation so they tried to save them.

A church was almost always built near or on top of a previously Pagan worship site. This is the case with this new discovery as well. The archaeologists may have uncovered the first place Christmas was ever celebrated... check out the article-it's really neat!

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Yule/Saturnalia, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other winter holiday, we at Soma Space Coaching wish you happiness, and wellness now and always!

SEX: The 4 Domains Are Found EVERYWHERE...even in your pants... so to speak

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:05:00 +0000

Because I teach Human Sexuality I always scan the news for interesting articles about sexuality. I came across this article (click on SEX: The 4 Domains... to read the whole article) that discusses research conducted at the University of Texas at Austin. They found 237 reasons Sapes have sex. These reasons ranged from the logical to the ridiculous.

What I found most interesting about the article is that they took these 237 reasons and put them into 4 categories... and I quote:

"Physical: “The person had beautiful eyes” or “a desirable body,” or “was good kisser” or “too physically attractive to resist.” Or “I wanted to achieve an orgasm.”

Goal Attainment: “I wanted to even the score with a cheating partner” or “break up a rival’s relationship” or “make money” or “be popular.” Or “because of a bet.”

Emotional: “I wanted to communicate at a deeper level” or “lift my partner’s spirits” or “say ‘Thank you.’ ” Or just because “the person was intelligent.”

Insecurity: “I felt like it was my duty” or “I wanted to boost my self-esteem” or “It was the only way my partner would spend time with me.”"

Now lets see how the 4 Domains fit in here...

Insecurity: PHYLO...why? Because PHYLOs are the bonders and are often worried about taking care of everyone else's needs otherwise those other Sapes may not continue to like them.

Goal Attainment: ONTO...why? Because ONTOs are extremely goal oriented. There is often an ulterior motive for them to have sex. Some examples might be (now ONTOs don't get pissed at me...you know these ideas have crossed your mind) to get someone to do your bidding, to get even with someone or piss someone else off.

Emotional: ECO...why? When we discussed this in class, many students thought "emotional" would be a PHYLO reason but it's not. ECOs are very empathic and they want to connect with other Sapes on a deep and intimate level. Sex is one avenue to connect spirit to spirit, if you will.

Physical: EXO...why? Because EXO is an external domain and it's a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) situation. EXOs connect easier physically than they do emotionally.

What are your thoughts? Those of you who know your primary domain please give us some insight into your experience and let us know if you agree or disagree with the above.

As an ECO I will tell you that it's dead on for me...

HOLIDAY POST: Santa had a broom and boobs and the Three Wise Men were Astrologers

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 14:39:00 +0000

Yes, that's what I said... but why did I say it? La Befana is a character in Italian folk lore who bears a striking resemblance to Santa Clause except for the fact that she's an old woman who rides a broom.

On the evening of Jan 6th (Epiphany) La Befana visits the children of Italy and puts candy in their stockings. If the kids are not good, they get a lump of coal (hmmm...sound familiar?)

The legend says that the Three Wise Men-who were astrologers, asked La Befana directions to where Baby Jesus was. I think that was the last time a man asked for directions, by the way-but I digress... Anyway, she didn't know the way but she did put them up for the night. In the morning the men asked La Befana if she wanted to go with them but she declined. She needed to clean instead (she was known as the best housekeeper around...her house was immaculate at all times). Later she regretted her decision and decided to go out to find the Wise Men to no avail.. she missed out on this amazing opportunity. Because of that, La Befana is still searching for the child and in doing so she does her candy routine...

There are other versions of this legend which include more grim stories (you can read them in the link-just click on "HOLIDAY POST.." to see the whole article).

In modern times most children receive a lump of coal in their stockings. This "coal" is really rock candy with caramel coloring. The reason why they all get coal is because, lets face it, do you know a single kid who has been perfect all year? LOL

Once again this legend goes back to pagan roots when the Romans used to exchange gifts at the beginning of the year during a feast celebrating the god Ianus and the goddess Strenia. Those pagans sure did have fun!

Hanging her stocking by the fire with care... (and I'd like a slice of pizza in it please)

ABOUT TIME: Article in Newsday About Explaining Death To Children Extends Interviews to Non-Judeo/Christian Religions

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 14:49:00 +0000

I always love when I run across an article in the paper that accepts and incorporates non Judeo-Christian beliefs into a mainstream article.

In this article (click on ABOUT TIME... to read the full article), the writer interviewed clergy about explaining death to children.

Two things struck me... The first was the mix of clergy interviewed included: a Rabbi, President of an Islamic Center, Methodist Minister, Baptist Minister, and a High Priestess of the Wiccan Religion. The second thing that struck me was the similarity of the gist of the responses.

When will the lightbulb go on for the Sapes out there? There is no right belief system and they are all essentially saying the same things using different words and different dogma...

Proudly Swinging on her Star,

SEX: Skin Hunger... do you have it?

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 03:39:00 +0000

Do you crave skin to skin contact? How often do you have that contact? This article (click on SEX: Skin Hunger...to view the whole article) discusses sexuality in your 30s, 40s, 50s...

Interestingly the article talks about how our sexual focus changes when we hit 25-30. Isn't that the age at which Dr. Mark says we get our adult brain? It's likely that we fall into a sexual routine by this age-the newness is gone. Perhaps we have some kids running around that we are dealing with.

How about in your 40s? The focus then is on career and getting the kids out of the house. Because the focus shifts in this direction, this is prime time for couples to drift apart...

And then you hit your 50s and another set of issues come up-or dont... Men tend to question their machismo as they may not have the rock hard erections they did in earlier years...

Warning Warning, "Willie" Robinson...Danger
This is why Viagra is the powerhouse that it is. Did anyone mention that rare but scary little side effect of blindness? What good is an erection if you can't see where to put it?

Also in the 50s the likelihood of an empty nest is pretty high. Now you have to figure out how to be a couple again instead of Mom and Dad-your roles have changed dramatically!

Glad she married younger,

Profiling Practice: What Is The Primary Domain Of These Celebs?

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 21:22:00 +0000

ODD MAN OUT... Take a look at these four photos. Three of these celebrities have the same primary domain, the fourth is different...

First try to identify the celebrity photo that is the "Odd Man Out". Tell me how that photo is different from the others and then name the two domains present. I want detail as to how you came to your conclusions...

We went to see "American Gangster" last night (great movie, albeit long) and so I thought we'd start with "my man" Denzel Washington (see the movie..really)

Next we have Luke Perry (90210 and John From Cincinnati)

Drop it like it's hot.... Here's Snoop...

And finally, Yummy Johnny Depp....

SEX: STDs on the RISE...Gonorrhea Superbug

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 01:13:00 +0000

WARNING: graphic and shocking photos below... STOP HERE if you are not 18 or if you are going to vomit on your computer screen if you see nasty, oozing photos... (Click on SEX: STDs on the RISE for the full article)

Once again we've got a serious issue in the USA... not only has Staph gone "superbug" but so has Gonorrhea...

I am always giving my students hell about protecting themselves if they are having sexual contact with others. I am very alarmed that almost NONE of the college students I've spoken with use protection during oral sex...

Still want to shove stuff in your mouth without thought?

Shall we discuss a few other lovely infections? Great idea Professor Val...

How about gonorrhea in the eye?

Yes, you can get it there..

What about a little primary syphilis?

More than ONE MILLION cases of Chlamydia were reported in our country last year. Want some of this? Keep up your risky sexual behaviors...

3/4 of all women who have Chlamydia have NO symptoms.

Tell me something-how will a condom stop you from catching this?

That is a right thigh and belly...

Perhaps you feel a handy is safe? No problem right? Hm.. how about this...

Yes, that's a finger with herpes...

So what have we learned here today?? That's right-SAFER sex is a must-and there is NO such thing as SAFE sex except masturbation...

Staying the F away from you sapes,

SEX: Shrinkage in Space and Other Cosmic Intercourse Issues

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 02:03:00 +0000

Was there a Don't Ask, Don't Tell Experiment In Space?

Who would have though that sex would be such a hassle in space. (click on SEX: Shrinkage...to read the whole story) Sure the space suits would be an obvious issue but what about the efficacy of oral birth control, the effects of zero gravity on the blood pressure (causing a smaller than usual penis size), increase perspiration, etc... on the upside, zero gravity is great for sagging boobs and the like. Nothing like a cosmic lift!

Another major concern is how space would affect the embryo/fetus, should a pregnancy occur.

Sapes are always looking for ways to spice up the sex life. I'm thinking that micro-gravity groaning is not around the corner. Imagine droplets of sweat and other body fluids dancing around you as you are engaged in the act... Imagine needing velcro to keep you physically attached to your partner-hm... you don't need to be in space for that one.

Zero-gravity might just get me on my bathroom scale again,

SEX: Tens of Millions $$ Spent on Abstinence Programs and They DONT WORK

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 19:41:00 +0000

THROW ME A FRICKIN' BONE HERE!!

Will someone please tell me why our government is pouring tens of millions of dollars into abstinence programs when they don't do a damn thing to stop teen pregnancies (and perhaps increase the likelihood of spreading STDs)? Click on SEX: Tens of Millions... to read the full article.

How about some common sense from the gov't sapes? Is that asking too much?

Stop wasting my damn money...

Hoping for some condom sense,

SEX: The "C Word"... that's right I said it

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 02:24:00 +0000

Have you ever heard a guy insult another guy by calling him a "woman"? Is "woman" a bad word? The Etymology of the word "cunt" is not agreed upon by most scholars. I would love to be a fly on the wall of one of these egghead meetings where there are vicious arguments going on as to the origins of the word.

Based on my research, cunt likely meant nothing more than "woman". Like I said calling someone a "woman" is an insult... what does that say about women?

Society isn't all that kind when it comes to things that are feminine. Do I have to bring up the hatred I have for feminine deodorant products? Look, if you've got a stench coming up from the beave, GET YOUR BUTT TO A DOCTOR. Do not spritz it with feminine deodorant sprays or whatever other insulting product may be on the shelf of your local pharmacy. Don't get me started...

In honor of election day I have to post this photo...

You know you laughed...

We really need to start putting out better messages for our young women... being a woman is a GOOD THING and the vagina is a GOOD THING-it is not some dirty, smelly, vile place of shame. Listen to mothers talking to their little girls-it's not just the men out there who are adding to the negative connotations. You can teach your little girl the word VULVA or VAGINA... it's not necessary to call it "naughty bits" or "dirty place"... Check yourselves, Sapes!

ABOUT TIME!: Bible Belt University Acknowledges Pagan Holidays

noreply@blogger.com (Professor Val) — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 12:24:00 +0000

As much as we are told that the USA was not meant to be a Christian Nation, we can see the obvious bend toward Christianity being more outwardly respected than other religious. Even if we take a look at the Official National Holidays in our country (Federal Law 5 U.S.C. 6103):

Tuesday, January 1	New Year's Day
Monday, January 21	Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Monday, February 18*	Washington's Birthday
Monday, May 26	Memorial Day
Friday, July 4	Independence Day
Monday, September 1	Labor Day
Monday, October 13	Columbus Day
Tuesday, November 11	Veterans Day
Thursday, November 27	Thanksgiving Day
Thursday, December 25	Christmas Day

we see an interesting entry. Yes, most of our holidays are secular in nature with one exception, Christmas.

Although all religious holidays are protected under our Constitution, one US University has specific policies and protections regarding Pagan Holidays. What blew me away the most about this is WHERE the colleges is. Marshall University is deep in the heart of the Bible Belt, WEST VIRGINIA! (Click on "ABOUT TIME: Bible Belt..." to read the whole article)

This is the first College/University I have heard actually protects Pagan students. If anyone out there knows of any others, please post them under the comments section of the blog.

Bravo to Marshall University for having balls and not bending to the pressures of the area in which they reside.
